11th in coaches poll

[SotaHawk87]

My predictions!! Go Hawks!

It was a little interesting that the DSM Register this morning in an article recognized Iowa as 10th and not 16th as their media brethren have in their infinite wisdom, had voted.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Welp.. Iowa actually dropped to 11

 

[BubsFinn]

We win by 5 1/2 touchdowns and we drop one spot? That seems odd.

Yes but Louisville who won 62-28 moves ahead because somehow that's more flashy??

After careful review these polls are jokes..I just can't figure it out from week to week

 

[SoFla-Hawkeye]

Further proof that playing ISUcks adds nothing to our cause

Lose-lose from a national perspective. Only value isu brings is they bring intensity to the game that we'll see in conference play. Pundits don't see or care about that

I don't know what else to conclude. Syracuse was 4-8 last year, and Louisville was only up 2 TDs after 3 quarters.

I'm not going to gripe about where we are ranked at least until we play Wisconsin. That's the first decent team we play. We'll have plenty of chances to move up starting with that game.

Early season moving up and down at times sometime will make little sence. No reason to get upset over.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Polls this time of year mean almost nothing. My response to Iowa rising or dropping in the polls now is: Meh.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Since Louisville is probably the only other ranked/quality team Houston will face this year, it's important that they are ranked as high as possible to give Houston it's best shot at making the playoffs.

Polls just don't excite me the way they used to (I hope I picked the right spelling). Since the CFP with the selection committee, it just isn't the factor it used to be. It used to matter a lot if you were #2 or #3 and working out all the ways your team might get into the top two was sort of exciting. Now that's gone and until proven otherwise I'm working with the mindset that if we win, we are in, no matter what any poll has to say about it. They are basically a barometer of respect and popularity now.

They should wait until after the 5th week to have polls come out.

Like with the CFP poll?

Is that when that poll comes out? Maybe just ditch these 2 polls?

If there were no preseason or early season polls, what would Hawkeye fans have to complain about this year?
